I need a camera for a music video

[mctheory]

Hello everyone


My name is mctheory and I am a singer.
Currently I have made plans to shot a music video but was very disappointed with the quotes of many companies.
So I decided to shot the video myself but firstly I would needs a camera.
Can someone please tell me.

1) What camera would makes a good music video?

2) I love the panasonic AG-HVX200 but it's so costly.
Do any one know of any companies that sells the panasonic AG- HVX200 at a low cost.

this is really WAY too broad of a question...

- ANY camera can "make" a good music video. the end quality depends on the talent of the director/photographer/editor

about the cheapest price youre going to find on a new HVX from an AUTHORZED DEALER is going to be about $4995 - and thats WITHOUT a p2 card. anyone who advertises a cheaper price than that MAY be out to rip you off

sorry - there are no cheap and easy answers.

absolutely NOT. if you dont buy from an authorized dealer, you are rolling the dice. id rather spend a few hundred extra dollars and KNOW what i was getting.

If you have no experience in this area, I'm afraid you are going to spend a good lump of cash and be unhappy with the results. Hire someone who does this for a living to produce the video for you.
